I came across this InfoWorld news article today on an open source SDK for creating multi-touch based applications using a webcam for input. Wouldn't it be cool to have this kind of application to work on your mobile phone with the built-in camera? I have played a couple of proprietary games on the mobile phone that have this kind of capability, it's nice that Microsoft CodePlex is making touchless SDK accessible to the masses. Get the SDK here: www.codeplex.com/touchless...

The Windows Cloud OS called Windows Azure that had been under the code name Red dog project for a long time has been officially announced in the keynote by Ray Ozzie on the first day of the PDC in LA (27th Oct 2008).

I have finally reinstalled my Vista Ultimate to RTM after running RC1 for some time.

The picture below which I've expertly copied from the Windows Vista magazine sums up nicely the...
